padhadh

thirst, Manx paa; seemingly formed by regressive analogy from the adjective pàiteach, thirsty, a side-form of pòiteach, drinking, bibulous, from pòit, Latin pôtus, drunk. Middle Irish paadh is explained by Stokes as *spasâtu-, root spas or spes, Latin spiro, breathe, Welsh ffun, breath, from *sposnâ. For phonetics See piuthar.
